“A nose kept in books
Cannot smell the dogwoods.
While the scholars are
Studying the menu,
The wise are eating the meal.”

What a great reminder to really tuck into life ๐

It is always good to be reminded of the problems of taking life too seriously.
Life is best lived in the moment, right here right now.
Too much of one thing is never good, a balanced life is much more fun.
Smell dogwood, be a scholar and do so with full awareness, too much means we lose our way and become one dimensional.
Yet another reason to stay on the middle ground!
Thanks for the reminder.

My name is Val Boyko, a dual citizen living near Philadelphia, originally from Scotland.
This blog came to life one morning in 2013. I woke up with these words in my mind: “Life is a series of highs and lows. Be grateful for the highs. Be graceful in the lows. And find contentment in your Middle Ground.”
Find Your Middle Ground blog started to explore, reflect, ask deep questions, share insights about awakening, and connect with wonderful people like yourself. Thank you for being here and being such an inspiration.
I’d love to hear from you …
